Category

I'm not entirely sure here, but I think that Category:Activity running gags might be more appropriate than Category:Object running gags, only because the gag doesn't always involve objects (like in the image). Trey56 04:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I put it in Objects coz hammerspace itself is an object. --DorianGray 04:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I guess I thought of it more as a place (like another dimension or an alternate universe) than an object... Trey56 04:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with Trey on this one. Loafing 04:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't sure myself what category to put it in. Although I did at one point thought to put it in the Places category ;) — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 04:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Place or no, it's still more of an object than it is an activity. --DorianGray 04:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Stub?

I don't think this counts a stub. It's not a large article, it is rather short, but by my book, it's not a stub if you have to scroll down to see the bottom.--CoachG 17:09, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

stub (n.): A notice that an article needs to be expanded. Also, an incomplete article. Note that a stub is not necessarily short, and a short article is not necessarily a stub.

That's the definition of a stub from the Glossary. Homestar-Winner (talk) 17:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

the article is fine. It's the list of appearances that may or may not be complete. I changed it to incomplete list instead. — Defender1031*Talk 17:19, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

How should it be expanded, though? I'm honestly not sure.--CoachG 17:20, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I think there might be other appearances of it. — Defender1031*Talk 17:21, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

If you see any other appearances of Hammerspace in other toons, you can post it on the page. Homestar-Winner (talk) 17:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, I'm aware of that. what does it have to do with this conversation? — Defender1031*Talk 17:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Two Three separate lists?

There's two kinds of hammerspace. One kind where things emerge from behind people/objects, and the other where they come from offscreen. Is it worth separating these into two lists? — Defender1031*Talk 17:28, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Not in my opinion, though it may be worth mentioning in the article.--CoachG 17:31, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

And ones where they pop to existence (like The Goblin). — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 17:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

True. Three then. The question still remains though, separate lists, or not? — Defender1031*Talk 17:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Where the Crap?

I removed the Twinkie from Where the Crap Are We?. It's clearly not hammerspace. The Twinkie was just off-camera. Homestar even looks at it before frabbing it. Loafing 03:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

A lot of things on this page are from offscreen, it's a type of hammerspace. — Defender1031*Talk 03:26, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but not everything that's from offscreen is from hammerspace. We need to distinguish between something that's most likely supposed to be from hammerspace and what appears to be normal. Loafing 03:28, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

if they can pull something from offscreen, but can't figure out that they can go offscreen, i'd say that's a good indication of hammerspace. — Defender1031*Talk 03:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Plus, if there really was a Twinkie right there, Srong Bad probably would of noticed it and not of said that there weren't enough Twinkies. Homestar-Winner (talk) 03:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

True. Although you'll see that the left "wall" is slightly offscreen, suggesting that there might be enough actual physical space for a twinkie on the right hand side. I'm beginning to slowly accept that it was supposed to be from hammerspace, though. I'll take a short break from this discussion so I don't feel compelled to argue about it for now ;-) And Homestar-winner: Strong Bad does not always see everything. Especially if there's a Homestar in front of it ;-) Loafing 03:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

hammer or Hammer?

Can you believe this article was deleted on Wikipedia? I guess it was determined to be a "fanmade" term, and therefore did not belong as its own article. The link now redirects to Magic satchel, where it is (mostly) used as a common noun (i.e. it is not capitalized). So, that begs the question: should we use Hammerspace or hammerspace? OptimisticFool 17:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

dissagree...

Some of the things on the page may not be truly from hammerspace. An example is that in cliffhangers Strong Bad could have had the snacks and the knife with him and just grabbed them when needed. Kirbychu HR'D 02:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

One problem. Unless he had the bags... taped to his head, or something, which sounds unlikely, (since we didn't see any tape on the bags), he wouldn't have enough space behind his back/in his back pockets to carry them. —Guard Duck ^talk 03:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

You guys missed something! =
